Yeah, that's my guess. It's a very common problem.
The right solution is probably for bugs.debian.org to rewrite all incoming
mail to change the From header to a debian.org address (probably the bug
address) and add a Reply-To header pointing to the original sender. This
is the fix that Mailman mostly uses, and it seems to work (I've had this
problem with multiple mailing lists I run and turning on this message
mangling has fixed it). But of course someone has to find time to
implement this.
